I wish I could say I enjoyed this game.

As someone who has only played this series for probably 15 minutes, why didn't you like it?

First, let me say, I am not good at video games but I love them. I've lost a lot of skill with age (55) and I've got a slight touch of arthritis in my button pressing hand. That being said, I've always felt that so many games have a level that takes the game from being fun to just a chore/nightmare. GOW2 had many of those levels: the collapsing columns level where you had to jump to one column/platform while spinning around, multiple medusas in a hallway you can't back out of, obscure puzzles, the battle with Zeus, etc. I hate when a game wastes my time making me do things over and over. I know some of this is my fault with my aging reflexes but when I have to go to an online guide to see what I AM DOING wrong or what hint I'm missing, I sort of lose interest. If I beat a game and have no desire to return to it due to the level of anger it inspires in me or not wanting to put myself through the torture of a level I found frustrating, then, to me, it wasn't an enjoyable experience. And, I'm running into a lot of games that I just want to end sooner than they do as well. I don't need a game to be 50 hours or hold my hand the whole way but I want it to be fun. This game wasn't fun to me. It's just my opinion, I could be wrong.
